Find the perfect template for your Office file

When you first start an Office app, like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, or Access, the first thing you'll see is a list of templates you can use to create your files and documents.

To find templates for your Office apps at any time, select File > New. Here's an example of what this looks like in Word:

Enter a search for the template type you're looking for in the search box that says Search for online templates. To browse through popular template types, select any of the keywords below the search box.

Select a template thumbnail to see a larger preview of what it looks like. You can use the arrows on either side of the preview to scroll through related templates. Once you find a template you like, select Create.

Tip: If you frequently use a template, you can pin it so it’s always there when you start your Office app. Just select the pin icon that appears below the thumbnail in the list of templates.
